Scientific Rigor versus Rigor Posturing

An analysis of the claims about methodological rigor in Moss-Racusin et al (2012)

This is the second post in my Unsafe Science series on issues related to our reversal of Moss-Racusin, Dovidio, Brescoll, Graham and Handelsman (2012). Moss-Racusin et al (hence, “M-R”) found biases against women in science hiring; we performed a series of very close replication attempts and they did not merely fail, though they did fail, they produced a reversal: We found biases against men.
